Dealers get allocations on Thursday and the build must be submitted by Monday

this could explain the feeling I get when applying, even part throttle no where near 50%, that the back end is "swaying" a bit side to side. The tires are not losing traction and it might not be the ediff doing it's thing - could be the side walls flexing a bit as it all (power, ediff...

same guess here - had an ordered Expedition years ago and the roof was damage when a chain from the car above fell on it. We had a great dealer that called and actually told us, "hey the car is here, but sorry - in the body shop for a few days to repair.... are you okay still taking the car?"...

I read as +$50k to the base - so that's the $158k. You might as well go all in at that point (all CF, Precision, etc.), so figure ~$200k. And it says delivered via enclosed trailer, so likely plus that cost as well (it could be included in the base tho as it's a bit higher) And this isn't...

I'll admit to being fooled from the front and from a distance, but not once you see the exhaust tips are silver

does rev match being on or off change it? I recall with it off, the revs climbed on the downshift to provide engine braking

I have a 22, so can't answer #1. 2) same issue sometimes - in my experience, we are moving from push-the-button to pull-the-door faster than the mechanism. I've just added a slight delay between clicking the button and pulling open 3) crazily enough, no BSM in 25s (though I believe it's...
